Mahāpariḷāhasutta

Suttapiṭaka · Saṁyuttanikāya · Mahāvaggasaṁyutta · Vol. 19 · Section 1733

[1733] Bhikkhus, whatever ascetics or brahmins do not understand as it really is (yathābhūta): 'This is suffering (dukkha)' … do not understand as it really is: 'This is the way of practice leading to the cessation of suffering' — they delight in volitional formations (saṅkhārā) that lead to birth … Delighting, they generate [such formations]. Having generated them, they are burned by the fever of birth, burned by the fever of aging, burned by the fever of death, burned by the fever of sorrow, lamentation, pain, grief, and despair. They are not freed from birth, from aging, from death, from sorrows, from lamentations, from pains, from griefs, from despairs — they are not freed from suffering, I say.
